I would say there’s solid benefits to breaking out your networking into at least 4 VLANs: IoT, guest, main, and infrastructure. IoT is obvious, these devices are security nightmares, but sometimes you have no alternative so you throw them into a network black hole. Guest for guests that you don’t want touching your stuff but keep asking for wifi. Main is for everybody else, this is your “real” network. Infrastructure for servers and network equipment.

The reason you break infrastructure off into its own VLAN is that modern firewalls are stateful and you can allow the main VLAN to initiate connections to the infrastructure VLAN but not the other way around, so if your server or IoT stuff gets infected it can’t become an attack vector for all your other devices. You allow Main to access Infrastructure, but not vise versa.

I take mine further and add two more VLANs, services and admin access. I split infrastructure (networking, proxmox hosts, etc) and services (proxmox VMs, NAS, etc) and then only allow admin access to the former, which is exclusive to my PC and phone. Some might call this excessive, but it helps me sleep a little better at night.

If genocide isn’t that line for you, then what is?

The people who “stood up” to genocide allowed the ones who genocide MORE into power.

Is there any point at which you think we should draw the line in supporting our own party, even if the other party is still worse?

They have a zero tolerance policy and direct it at the small fish instead of the actual problem, which is governments using it to kill people, companies investing billions into speculation, and nobody stopping them or making them pay for copyright infringement.

What exactly would you like me, specifically, to do about that? I’m open to all suggestions.
